Apache Tomcat is a modern application server that enables the operation of projects in the Java language.
Tomcat is a separate web server that provides both the dynamic part of the site and static files (images, etc.).
To optimize access, a front proxy server is often installed in front of Tomcat. Tomcat itself is written in Java, is resource-intensive, and it is advisable to relieve it of the load when working with slow end clients.
Apache Tomcat support on 1Gb.ua
Our hosting offers you the opportunity to work comfortably with Apache Tomcat. We support several versions, from the 6th to the latest, details with a list of versions can be found in your personal account, “full list of functions”, “Hosting HTTP services”.
Your own instance of Tomcat is placed in your home directory, after which you can edit any server configuration files, install modules, as well as stop and start it using the /init.d/tomcat- script.
Requests from end clients are accepted by Apache, which then sends them to your Tomcat.
How to use and terms of use
Apache Tomcat is a resource-intensive platform. A simple test site on Tomcat will work on any tariff plan with the minimum option “memory for Ruby/Tomcat/…” (for old tariffs – Basic and higher).
When hosting a full-fledged software under real load, you need to be prepared for the fact that the site load or the memory occupied by the Tomcat server will exceed the limit of this tariff, in which case you will need to increase the tariff.
You can convert any existing website into a Tomcat resource. This can be done through your personal account, “Full list of functions”, “Hosting HTTP services”.
